Difference in /usr/include/bits/sigaction.h between i386 and alpha



This is a multipart MIME message.
Hi,

wmnet is one of my packages. I just included a problem which
solves a rare problem and uploaded it (this is version 1.05-2).
When compiling on my i386/potato system, everything is fine. I
have
ii  libc6-dev       2.1.1-2

After uploading the patched version I got a bug report from 
John Goerzen <jgoerzen@complete.org> because he was not able to 
compile it on alpha/potato with
ii  libc6.1-dev     2.1.1-10

His error message is

 imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
 make
 make[1]: Entering directory `/home/buildd/build/wmnet-1.05'
 gcc -Wall -O2 -O2     -I/usr/X11R6/include   -Dlinux  -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO  -Dlinux_libc6   -c wmnet.c -o wmnet.o
 wmnet.c: In function `setup_wmnet':
 wmnet.c:344: structure has no member named `sa_restorer'
 make[1]: *** [wmnet.o] Error 1
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/buildd/build/wmnet-1.05'
 make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2

The patch I included did not change wmnet.c. The version 1.05-1 
compiled fine on alpha/slink as there is a package in 
binary-alpha/x11/wmnet... in slink. The dependecy there says

 Depends: libc6.1 (>= 2.0.7u), ...

I looked for the definition of sa_restorer on my system and 
found it in one of the include files (which is included by 
wmnet.c): /usr/include/bits/sigaction.c

I downloaded the version 2.1.1-10 of the alpha libc6.1-dev and 
made a diff of the two sigaction.h files (see attachment) and it 
shows that the alpha version has no sa_restorer defined.

I'm not a programmer, so I don't know if one should not use 
this sa_restorer or if the alpha version of sigaction.h is 
incomplete. Could you shed some light on this, please?

Thanks,

Philipp
